Ongoing problems with wrongful convictions, incarceration; MDOC and CMCF, a joke? Steven Hayne, MD? Governor Barbour, is he accountable to the citizens of this State? If so, in what capacity?

You might ask me why I'm doing this?

Well, I can answer that in a very short sentence. Because it is the right thing to do. Wouldn't you want some help if you were in this situation? Wouldn't I? Of course we would! So, I'm doing it because it's the right thing!

Keep reading; follow along; give me your feedback, even if you don't agree; but take a stand! That's what's important here! Take a look at this article in Reason Magazine by Radley Balko; google this "doctor" and see what you find out!

    Faulty DNA tests: From our 'Here we go again?' department: A disturbing story from NPR - host Ari Shapiro - which I have not heard elsewhere in the media. HL) : "Faulty DNA tests being used in criminal cases in Texas could impact more than 1,000 cases as under some circumstances, these tests were incorrectly coming back as insufficient DNA to test."…"The Houston Forensic Science Center is reviewing hundreds of cases after it detected problems with Qiagen EZ1&2 Investigator DNA test kits. Center CEO Peter Stout says tests were coming back reading no DNA present when there was or that it was just one person's when sometimes it was from multiple people. PETER STOUT: It introduces a question mark that then the rest of the system has to try and figure out, OK, is this a case that was affected, and if so, what are we going to do about it? Do we need to retest it? FLAHIVE: The Texas Department of Public Safety is reviewing around 700 cases at just one lab. Qiagen is one of the big three manufacturers in the world of DNA tests. A Qiagen company spokesman told NPR they received less than 10 complaints in the U.S. about the tests. But the company declined to say the total number of potentially affected tests, so measuring the true impact of the issue has been difficult to determine. Experts say it's a national problem."
